Jason recently he took some time out from planning his next big live event, “The Pitch” to talk to us about his experience of watching TV on the PC. Like many journalists and bloggers, TV is a key source of information for Jason’s work.

Tell us about Eat Sleep Publish – what prompted you to start the blog?

I’ve had an interest in publishing for a long time, actually. It probably dates back to 1995, when I started subscribing to PC Gamer Magazine (I still subscribe), and I think that watching most of the publishing industry flail about looking for a business model when there were so many options to explore led me to try and create a forum for that discussion. I figured that if I weren’t in a position to try innovating at a newspaper or a magazine, there was a chance that I could at least help make the conversation noticeable to the people who were.

Northshore Community College (Boston, Mass.) freshman Jesse Carrasco loves listening to music and playing video games, just like the overwhelming majority of other college students in the country. But unfortunately, she didn’t have the technological resources to enjoy these two activities in a modern way….until now.

Jesse was the third and final winner who’s had their living space upgraded with a cutting-edge entertainment experience thanks to Microsoft’s Digital Dorm Room contest.

We set Jesse up with a 42” HDTV and a TV stand, a desktop PC with Windows Media Center installed, an Xbox 360 elite, Zune and a wireless router to rid the room of a jungle of cables.

Needless to say, Jesse is thrilled with her setup. But don’t think for a minute that she’s using her new gear for entertainment only. She plans to use her Zune to listen to lectures and get her study on after cram sessions of “Need for Speed.” 🙂
